Empress Of announces new album ft Blood Orange, Cecile Believe, more: hear “Wild Storm”

Empress Of (Lorely Rodriguez) has announced new album Dream House which will be out September 18 via Giant Music. She made the album with Montreal artist Cecile Believe (Caila Thompson-Hannant of Miracle Fortress and Think About Life) and the album also includes Blood Orange and Lorely’s mother, Reina.

“One afternoon I made a little voice memo while playing a piano mumbling the phrase, ‘I wanna build a dream for you.’ That’s when this whole thing kind of started,” Lorely says. “Like a little spark. Someone said a phoenix isn’t born, it’s remembered and in making this album I remembered why I make music.”

Dream House’s title track (produced by Dave Sitek) was released earlier this year and now she’s shared “Wild Storm,” which comes with a video shot on the roof of her new home — her old one was destroyed in the Altadena wildfires. Watch that below.

Empress Of will celebrate Dream House‘s release with a Brooklyn show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on September 30. It’s her only live date at the moment.
